RUTH, 24TH FEB

Like most people I started Jiu Jitsu when I first came away to university. I'd never been sporty, but I was a long way from home and I liked the idea of learning a martial art. From my very first class the club was really friendly and Jitsu has been a huge part of my life ever since. I consider myself very lucky and incredibly privileged to have met so many amazing people through Jitsu. Many of my best friends (and my husband!) are people who I first encountered training on a Jitsu mat. Coaching Northumbria Jitsu means I continue to meet new friends and training partners every year. I find it hugely rewarding to watch people develop through training with Northumbria Jitsu. Ruth Chalton, GP
